Risk Disclosure

Last updated: 1 October 2026

Please read this disclosure carefully before you connect a broker or act on any signal. It forms part of our Terms & Conditions.

1. Not investment advice

Algo AI Trade is a software tool built by Softono. Softono is not registered with SEBI as an investment adviser, research analyst, portfolio manager or stockbroker, and does not hold your funds or securities. Strategies, signals, AI verdicts, confidence scores, news findings, backtests and track records are not recommendations to buy or sell anything and do not take into account your financial situation, objectives or risk tolerance. Consult a qualified, registered adviser if you need advice.

2. Trading carries risk of loss

Trading equities, derivatives, commodities and crypto assets involves substantial risk. Prices can move quickly and against you, gaps can occur between sessions, and you can lose some or all of the capital you trade. Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose.

3. Leverage, margin and derivatives

Margin orders, intraday margin products and leveraged crypto derivatives (for example on Delta Exchange) magnify both gains and losses. A small adverse move can cause a large loss, margin calls, or forced liquidation by your broker, and losses can exceed the margin you posted.

4. Crypto assets

Crypto assets are highly volatile, trade around the clock, are not legal tender in India, and are subject to specific tax treatment and evolving regulation. Exchanges can suspend trading or withdrawals, and there is no investor-protection scheme for crypto losses.

5. Automation and technology risk

Automated trading depends on many systems working together: market data feeds, our servers and job queues, AI providers, your internet connection, and your broker's API. Any of them can be slow, fail or behave unexpectedly. As a result, signals or orders may be delayed, duplicated, rejected, skipped or placed at a different price than expected, and stops or trailing stops may not execute at the level set. A resting stop placed at your broker can still slip in a fast or gapping market. Monitor your broker account regularly and know how to close positions directly with your broker.

6. Risk controls are not guarantees

The kill switch, instrument checks, signal-age limit, open-positions cap and daily loss cap reduce certain risks, but they only act on orders the Service places and only within the limits you set. They do not protect against market gaps, broker-side failures, or orders you place elsewhere.

7. AI analysis

AI verdicts and news-impact findings are generated by third-party language models. They can be confidently wrong, miss important information, misread news, or rely on stale data. A high confidence score is not a probability of profit. Treat AI output as a second opinion, not a decision.

8. Backtests, paper trading and track records

Backtests run on historical data and cannot fully model slippage, liquidity, fees, taxes, partial fills, or broker behaviour. Paper trading uses simulated fills that may be better than what a live market gives you. A strategy's past or backtested performance — including the track record of a published strategy — does not guarantee future results.

9. Following other users' strategies

Strategies on the Publish & Follow catalog are created by other users (or by the platform) and are not reviewed for quality or suitability. You cannot see a published strategy's rules, the author may change, pause or retire it at any time, and its signals may stop. You are responsible for deciding whether, and how much, to trade on any strategy you follow.

10. Market data

Prices, candles, index constituents, news and reference data come from third-party providers and exchanges and may be delayed, incomplete or corrected after the fact. Signals generated from such data may be wrong.

11. Regulatory responsibility

Regulators, including SEBI, and brokers may impose rules on API-based and algorithmic trading by retail investors, such as registration of strategies, order-rate limits or static IP requirements. You are responsible for using your broker's API in line with your broker's terms and applicable law, and for your own tax reporting.

12. Your responsibility

By using the Service you confirm that you understand these risks, that you make your own trading decisions, and that you are solely responsible for the orders placed on your accounts and their outcome.
